Nadia's prostate cancer treatment fund
Supporting Nadia through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Heliopolis Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇪🇬 Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt2,348 views
In August I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Heliopolis Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 47, I worked as a nurse until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Heliopolis Regional Medical Center 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
• Transport to Heliopolis Regional Medical Center: $150
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $920
• Scans and lab work: $160
With deep gratitude,
Nadia

Good luck, Nadia. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Thinking of you. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Heliopolis.
Thinking of you and your family, Nadia. Wishing Nadia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Nadia. Wishing Nadia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up.
